Gu Jinchen lowered his eyes and asked, "Is it because of the incident on the Internet?"

Pei Anan was a little confused: "Probably..."

When Gu Jinchen entered the ward, Pei Qinghuan was still closing her eyes. Her lips, which were a little pale due to illness, made her look like a quiet angel.

"Jingle Bell--"

Gu Jinchen's eyebrows twitched. He was afraid of disturbing Pei Qinghuan and looked around for the source of the sound. It turned out to be Pei Qinghuan's mobile phone.

He subconsciously connected.

There is a man on the other side of the phone.

"Qing Huan, my friend in the hospital heard the news about you. Do you have a fever?"

"How are you doing now? Can I go over and see you now?"

"You are always busy with your online store and forget to take care of yourself. Your body is the most important thing, you know?"

Gu Jinchen's bones twitched. Why did a man come to care about his wife when she fell ill? He knew the trends better than he did.

He glanced at the sleeping Pei Qinghuan and went out.

"Hey, I'm her husband, what do you want?"

Chen Yu on the opposite side was stunned: "Oh, I, I'll just ask Qing Huan..."

Gu Jinchen's tone was as cold as ice: "A married man shouldn't disturb other people's wives. Isn't this common sense?"

Chen Yu's tone was soft: "I just want to ask about Qing Huan. We are friends after all. Since her husband is here, it should be fine."

Gu Jinchen said calmly: "Well, it's fine."

Chen Yu wanted to say something more, but as soon as he finished speaking, a "beep--" sound came from the other side.

Chen Yu clicked his tongue: "It's like eating firecrackers. Why did Qing Huan find such a possessive man?"

He thought about it, but he just felt that this man was not as good as him.

He sent a message to his friend to ask about Pei Qinghuan's situation. After waiting for a while, he didn't get any news, so he had to do his own work first.

Gu Jinchen on the other side looked at the contacts noted by "Chen Yu" on his phone with cold eyes.

The nurses passing by wanted to say something, but they were scared away by his sense of distance.

Gu Jinchen thought for a while and blocked Chen Yu.

After completing this operation, he returned to his room satisfied.

"Where's my phone?"

As soon as he entered the door, Pei Qinghuan looked at him as if he was questioning a prisoner.

Gu Jinchen felt guilty for some reason, but he didn't show it on the surface. He handed her the phone and said, "I dropped my phone on the way to the hospital just now. I'll go back and look for it."

Pei Qinghuan suddenly understood and looked grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Also, can you please not tell my sister and parents about my fever?"

She rubbed her still aching head.

"Although I don't know why I suddenly have a fever, it's not good to make them worry. Besides, there are still many things to deal with. It's just a small fever."

Gu Jinchen frowned: "You call this a small fever? It's already reached 40°C. If it's any later, there will be nerve problems."

He couldn't imagine how the fragile woman in front of him could downplay his condition.

Pei Qinghuan was unhappy: "It doesn't matter. I'm in good health. I've always dealt with illnesses myself since I was a child. This time it was just an accident..."

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, because she saw the anger between Gu Jinchen's brows.

Mr. Gu... is angry? Because of her?

Just as he was stunned, Pei Anan hurriedly ran outside.

"Sister, are you feeling better? I told my parents, and they will definitely be here soon."

Pei Qinghuan said quickly: "An'an, why are you running? You are a pregnant woman and you still have a baby in your belly."

"Also, why do you need to tell your parents about this little thing? They are older, so don't bother them all the time."

Pei Qinghuan rubbed his head with a headache.

Pei An'an was scolded and pouted aggrievedly: "But you just finished arguing with your parents. Maybe you have a fever, and your parents have a reason..."

Gu Jinchen extracted the keyword: "quarrel?"

Only then did Pei Anan notice Gu Jinchen and nodded: "That's right..."

Pei Qinghuan interrupted: "An An, there is no need to tell Mr. Gu about this. He is very busy, and I have already troubled Mr. Gu enough."

She smiled and nodded at Gu Jinchen, as if to say that she was strictly abiding by the mutually exclusive contract between the two.

Gu Jinchen's face was a little dark. This woman always abided by the rules at times like this.

"Actually, you can ask me a little more, after all, I am you too..."

"Jingle Bell--"

Pei Anan quickly answered the phone: "Hello? Mom, ah, you're not coming... But, okay, Mom, I will take care of myself, um, but Mom, are you really not coming..."

Gu Jinchen subconsciously looked at Pei Qinghuan, but saw that Pei Qinghuan had no expression on his face the whole time, as if he was not involved.

Pei Anan whispered: "Sister, Mom said they were very tired from the trip back and forth, and the store had to restock, so they couldn't come over yet. She asked you to have a good rest, and she also ordered something light for you..."

"It's okay. I know my parents are very busy. It's not a big deal in the first place. An'an, you can go to the store. There are nurses and doctors here."

Pei Qinghuan gave her a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, I'm really bothering you today. Can I treat you to dinner later?"

Gu Jinchen looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through her, but the woman remained motionless.

"Okay, I'll let people watch here. You have a good rest."

After hearing this, the bodyguards performed their duties even more diligently at the door.

Pei Qinghuan nodded. Pei Anan still wanted to stay, but Pei Qinghuan closed her eyes and quietly declined.

For a long time, Pei Qinghuan was the only one left in the ward.
